On 27 October 2026, NABOCADO held separate project inception and stakeholder orientation meetings in the Bawku West and Talensi districts of the Upper East Region. Participants included District Chief Executives, District Coordinating Directors, Assembly Members, security heads, traditional and religious bodies, government agencies and community members.
The meetings introduced the project “Strengthening Community Resilience to Reduce Vulnerabilities to Violent Extremism in 10 Mining-Affected Communities in the Bawku West and Talensi Districts of Ghana’s Upper East Region”.
Funded by the Government of Canada through the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI), the project seeks to strengthen community resilience and reduce vulnerabilities to violent extremism in mining communities.
The meetings gave an opportunity to present the project’s goal, objectives and expected results, and to seek stakeholders’ understanding, support and buy-in for effective implementation.
In the coming days, NABOCADO will carry out a series of coordinated activities across the 10 target communities in the two districts, working with relevant stakeholders to reduce the risks of violent extremism.
